In my match as the Soviet in August 1943 I have 9,500,000 men in corps and another 1,5000,000 men in the pool and am making 105,000/week; I have over 1,500,000 unused armaments in reserve. It is critical for the Axis player to neuter manpower first cities and armament centers second. I have no need to create anything else. In this game my opponent is trying an Axis goes to the defense in late 1942 strategy and I managed to save many manpower centers. As the Axis in my other match I tried a Southern strategy and by winter of 1942 I had captured Stalingrad and most points east; I could not drive much past Rostov to the south; the Soviet managed to evacuate most of the armaments; it is now Feb 1943 and he is making only 71,000 new men/week and has 2,000,000 less men in arms than I did at the same point in the game referenced above. My opponent's manpower multiplier has fallen from 40 to 35 when the year changed to 1943; even during the blizzrad where we are now he is losing more men/turn than he is producing and it will only get worse. No doubt in my mind that manpower centers are worth much more than armament centers. Marquo
